Well, who doesn’t right?
For me, luxury is part of comfort, and feeling comfortable is part of one of the most basic human needs – certainty. To feel certainty we need to feel safe and it’s hard to feel safe if you feel uncomfortable, right?
Well, now you may be thinking that you don’t need to feel luxurious to feel comfortable, but it really takes it to a whole other level.
My mother remodelled her living room recently with Filu, an interiors architect, and it’s so comfortable and luxurious that the first time I entered the room I didn’t even feel at ease. I felt like… This room is too good for me, I don’t belong in such a beautiful place… Weird right?
But then I got used to it, and now when I enter that room I love it so much that I feel like a queen :) I can stay there all day feeling amazing just by being so comfortable and seeing so much beautiful things all around me.
The other day I was listening to Gina DeVee speaking about how she would deny her love of style, clothes and a luxurious lifestyle just because she thought that wasn’t important enough… that she felt great spending money with self-development products, books, and other “important” stuff but she felt guilty about spending money in clothes or accessories. But then she realised that she needed to be true to herself and to do that, she had to acknowledge just how important it is to her to have a marvellous style, beautiful clothes and shoes and live a luxurious lifestyle where she travels and goes to nice hotels and restaurants.
I loved her for saying that out loud! For making loving style, clothes and fashion a good thing. Because for years I also struggled with this idea that style, clothes and fashion aren’t important, they’re superficial, and they don’t matter much.
If you’re reading this, you can be sure of one thing… Style, clothes and fashion matter to YOU!
And because they do, it’s important that you spend time and money on them, because you’ll feel better about your life and yourself. For me the key to being happy is knowing what we want and like, and then go and do that :)
I hope this frees you (like it freed me) to love style, fashion and beautiful things without feeling guilty!
And I hope we as women can start to love and express our style, spend money on clothes and other things we love, and feel we’re actually doing the right thing. Because we are! We’re doing what we love.
